The final few interviews related to Neill Blomkamp's sci-fi tale "Chappie" have been taking place, and actress Sigourney Weaver has shared some more thoughts about re-teaming with the filmmaker for the next "Alien" film.
Speaking with Variety, Weaver said she thinks the filmmaker's new chapter in the series will break new ground:
"I can't think of a better director. He's a real fan. I think he'll be true to the world and take it in unexpected directions. It's got a lot of sinew in it. It will certainly stand up to the others and probably break a lot of new ground as well. Suddenly it seemed so obvious that this would happen. We've been in touch the last year, and he's shared wonderful artwork."
Blomkamp himself says that despite having filmed three sci-fi films so far, each has been set in a relatively contemporary near future. The new "Alien...

One of the most interesting images from the concept art that was released for Neill Blomkamp's Alien movie was the one pictured above featuring Sigourney Weaver's Ripley and Michael Biehn's Hicks, and now several make-up test images for Hicks have surfaced online over at The Terminator Fans. According to the site, David Woodruff and his company Generation Effects, Inc. used the concept art to create a few make-up tests (with David's father Tom Woodruff Jr....

A series of pictures have emerged in the last few hours that would seem to confirm the involvement of Michael Biehn for Neill Blomkamps Alien sequel. The pics, which show Biehn in various stages of make-up testing, are sure to add fuel to the fire that the character will return alongside Ripley to tackle the Xenomorphs again. The tests were carried out by David Woodruff and his company Generation Effects Inc to see what Biehn could look like if he were to return as Hicks. While we know that the actor was contacted about reprising the role, until now we didn't know if had actually had any involvement in the developing movie. there is as yet no script in place, but between these pics and Blomkamp's own concept art, it's clear that the director has a very good idea of what he wants to do with this project. While the...

It’s not every day you get to interview an Academy Award winner while wearing a demon hat. Well… actually it is, for me. I love my job!
Dread Central sent me to the set of Fire City: Interpreter of Signs to chat with cast and crew. It’s the directorial debut of monster master Tom Woodruff, Jr., and he’s got his own junior, David Woodruff, following in his F/X footsteps.
Along for the ride into the depths of hell is makeup/effects artist Dave Elsey (The Wolfman, 2010 Academy Award - Best Achievement in Makeup).
Dread Central: So how did each of you hear about Fire City initially?
David Woodruff: Well, when they started the project, they went over to my dad's studio Adi to do the creature for the first of what was then, three years ago I believe, supposed to be a web series. And...

We were lucky enough to get to play with demons on the set of Fire City: The Interpreter of Signs earlier this month while the complex “horror noir,” which is the brainchild of writer-producers Brian Lubocki and Michael Hayes, was shooting.
It’s directed by F/X master Tom Woodruff, Jr., and stars Tobias Jelinek as Vine the Demon, who must square off with an even eviler Demoness, Cornelia (played by Danielle "Dani" Chuchran).
We had a chance to talk with the actors plus the director and his two right-hand practical effects guys (his son, David Woodruff, and Academy Award winner Dave Elsey), but in this installment you'll hear from the originators of Fire City: The Interpreter of Signs, Lubocki and Hayes.
Dread Central: So… what’s the Fire City story in this film? It's based on your body of shorts and other works set in this world, correct?
